Brandon Sklenar supports Blake Lively in Justin Baldoni. It ends the feud between us

It Ends With Us actor Brandon Sklenar has come out in support of his co-star Blake Lively after she accused fellow actor and director Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and a smear campaign.

“For God’s sake read this,” Sklenar wrote on his Instagram Story on Wednesday while posting Lively’s sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios. Sklenar played Atlas Corrigan, the childhood love of Lively’s character on It Ends With Us. Sklenar tagged her on Instagram with a heart emoji.

Sklenar is the latest star to publicly support Lively. He joins It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover, Lively’s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants cast, Amber Heard, director Paul Feig and others.

Sony Pictures, which distributes “It Ends With Us,” released a statement in support of Lively.

“We have already expressed our support for Blake in connection with her work on and for the film. “We fully reiterate that support today,” said a Sony Pictures Entertainment spokesperson diversity. “Furthermore, we strongly condemn any attack on her reputation. Such attacks have no place in our company or in civil society.”

SAG-AFTRA also supported Lively’s claims, saying, “These are frightening and disturbing allegations.” Employees have every right to raise concerns or file complaints. Retaliation for reporting misconduct or inappropriate behavior is illegal and wrong,” the organization said in a statement. “We applaud Blake Lively’s courage in speaking out on issues such as retaliation and harassment, and for her request to have an intimacy coordinator for all scenes containing nudity or sexual content. This is an important step that will help ensure a safe set.”

In the wake of Lively’s allegations, Justin Baldoni was dropped by WME, which also represents Lively.
